Potassium kuyinto isici chemical ne uphawu K (kusuka Neo-Latin kalium ) kanye Umbukiso Wesithombe Sokusakaza 19.I-Potassium iyinsimbi emhlophe eyisiliva ethambile ngokwanele ukuthi ingasikwa ngommese ngamandla amancane. ^[1] Insimbi ye-potassium iphendula ngokushesha nge- oxygen yasemkhathini ukwakha i- potassium peroxide emhlophe emafushane ngemizuzwana nje yokuvezwa.Yaqale yahlukaniswa ne- potash, umlotha wezitshalo, lapho igama layo litholakala khona. Etafuleni lezikhathi ezithile , i-potassium ingenye yezinsimbi ze-alkali, zonke ezine- elektroni eyodwa ye-valence egobolondweni elingaphandle le-electron, elisuswa kalula ukuze lenze i-ion ngokukhokhiswa okuhle - i- cation, ehlangana nezinyoni ukwakha usawoti . I-potassium ngokwemvelo ivela kuphela kosawoti be-ionic.I-elemental potassium iphendula ngamandla ngamanzi, ikhiphe ukushisa okwanele ukubasa i- hydrogen ekhishwa ekuphenduleni, bese ivutha ngelangabi elinombala we-lilac.Kutholakala kuncibilikiswe emanzini olwandle (okuyi-0.04% ye-potassium ngesisindo ^[2] ), futhi kwenzeka kumaminerali amaningi afana ne- orthoclase, indawo ejwayelekile yamagranites namanye amatshe angenalutho. ^[3]
